US President-elect Donald Trump has received just two classified intelligence briefings, far less than that of his predecessors, since his surprise election victory more than two weeks ago, a media report has said.
“Trump has a lot of catching up to do,” a senior US official told The Washington Post.
The Post reported that Trump so far has received two classified intelligence briefing, which is far less than those by previous president-elect.
However, the vice president elect Mike Pence has been receiving it almost every day, it added.
Trump supporters dismissed the issue.
“National security is Donald Trump’s No.1 priority and I think he’s taking it very seriously. Look how many leaders he’s met with, how many phone calls he’s done, positions he’s filled. People who are being critical need to get a life,” said Congressman David Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
